Hi,
does anyone know if there are any mains adaptors that power more than one device?
I have that many devices connected to my computer that are powered by seperate mains adaptors and I was wondering if I can get a device that can power them all?
Surely there must be such a device? The seperate adaptors must be wasting alot of electricity.
Would you consider signing my petitions on disabilty rights

yes you can get this device.
but if its just for you computer, why not think about surge protection aswell.
a belkin one ( £15-£20) is well worth it.
Hope this helps wg

On saving power - there's no point, one supply would use just as much power.
However, each device might require a different voltage.
Some are 3V, some 6, 9, 12, 16 etc.
Then there's the problem of isolation. Commoning all supplies may not be safe for some items.
Each supply has been made to provide enough power at the voltage required for the device.

If you have an extension cord with separate switch for all the connectors you can switch off totally the unused devices' adaptors to save energy. Nuch easier and cheaper than getting a big power supply or rewiring all the devices.
